Patricia Hackett

Patricia was the adored wife of the late Frederick J. Hackett.  With Fred, they started a loving family with their children Karen and her husband Clinton Smith of Weymouth, Steven Hackett of Weymouth, Patricia and her husband Christopher of Falmouth, Joan and her husband William of Hingham and Paul Hackett and his wife Beth of Abington. While raising her family, she worked alongside her husband Fred, tending the books of their business, Olden’s Pharmacy. 

Pat and Fred had the opportunity to travel world-wide, most often with Ruth and Bud Hackett. Pat learned to play tennis at Stella Tirrell Park with her friend Edna McKinney and it became her “game” along with baking, reading, crosswords, and shopping trips.
